Chapter 106: Assassination

Qin Ying's use of domain power had exceeded the comprehension of an ordinary emperor realm expert. It had reached a very high level, to the point that it had even exceeded what ordinary Supreme realm experts could comprehend.

His domain power could actually be separated. A part of it was attached to the halberd, while another part was attached to the attack.

This was unlike an ordinary emperor realm expert, who would use their own body as the center as they expanded their domain power to envelop the enemy or resist their enemy's own domain power.

Qin Ying's domain seemed to be separated and dispersed. Despite that, it seemed to be more effective and powerful.

A single strike imbued with his domain power would be able to break through the opponent's domain energy, causing a flaw to appear in their defenses.

Chu Xuan watched the battle unfold and gained a new understanding of domain power.

So, domain power could be used in such a way…

As expected, he was lacking in terms of battle experience.

Qin Ying was already gradually suppressing the enemy. Throughout the entire fight, he had not uttered a single word.

The black-robed men did not speak either. Occasionally, they would exchange glances with each other. It was obvious that they were anxious.

They had not expected Qin Ying to be so strong.

Despite having the advantage of being two minor realms stronger, and there being two of them, Qin Ying was the one suppressing them in combat.

Qin Ying frowned slightly. Up until now, there were still no signs of the Luo family's Dao protectors.

Was being tested, or had they been lured away by someone?

He could not continue wasting time here.

Qin Ying's halberd slashed down from the sky, and the domain around him suddenly condensed. Like a huge mountain, it smashed down alongside the halberd.

Boom!

The two black-robed men frantically blocked. However, Qin Ying's halberd did not stop moving, and each additional strike stacked onto the previous one.

After three consecutive strikes, the black-clothed men could no longer withstand the violent force of the attack, and their domain power started to display signs of collapsing.

Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths.

Qin Ying's gaze was ice-cold, and his violent aura surged as he continued to attack ferociously with his halberd.

His domain power solidified as he attacked, gradually transforming itself into the shape of a halberd, striking down.

Puchi!

The black-clothed men spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

Qin Ying's even more violent attacks followed closely.

If this attack landed, the black-clothed men would be heavily injured; they might even die.

Right at this moment, a cold gleam of light suddenly flashed by.

It seemed to appear out of thin air, targeting Qin Ying's back.

"Hmph!"

Qin Ying did not panic in the face of danger. He snorted coldly and continued to strike with the halberd in one hand. He brandished his other fist and punched toward the cold gleam of light that was heading toward him.

His pink fist turned golden as he lashed out.

Ding!

The attack was blasted away. However, more attacks soon came from all directions.

A strong sense of danger enveloped Qin Ying. He no longer cared about killing the two black-clothed men. He pulled his halberd back, and his domain enveloped the area.

At this moment, a cold gleam of light suddenly appeared behind him.

It was too close!

Qin Ying's expression changed. He twisted his waist and dodged as fast as he could, but he was a step too late.

Rip!

The clothes under his ribs were torn, and a bloody scar appeared on his fair skin.

Qin Ying was furious. His aura surged, and a violent aura swept out in all directions.

He was about to use his most domineering technique.

Then, he suddenly stopped, and his aura stopped rising.

Qin Ying felt extremely aggrieved.

He was now a woman!

In his previous life, whenever he used this technique, his clothes and armor would be torn to pieces, and he would rely solely on his domineering body to defend against countless attacks.

However, he was a woman now! There was no way he could fight naked!

He had a powerful domineering technique, but could not use it.

It was a mistake!

He should have taken a top-tier spiritual armor from the Luo family's treasury and put it on, so as to avoid exposing his body when he used the technique.

Qin Ying was now completely surrounded.

Four black-clothed men, who were wielding slender longswords, were advancing toward him.

The two black-clothed men who had attacked first and attracted his attention had already fled to nurse their injuries.

Qin Ying glanced coldly at these four black-clothed men. Their figures seemed illusory, as if they could disappear and conceal themselves at any time.

Assassins!

These were cultivators who specialized in assassination techniques.

Each one had reached the third level of the Emperor realm.

It seemed like they had meticulously set up this trap Qin Ying.

Qin Ying frowned as he wondered if this matter had anything to do with Zhu Yuanbai.

However, when he reviewed Zhu Yuanbai's actions, including from before the time he regained the memories of his previous life, he was certain that there was nothing wrong with Zhu Yuanbai.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanbai had no reason to assassinate him.

Unless, of course, he deliberately set up this trap to become the hero who came to save the damsel in distress?

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Ying's mood turned sour.

"I hope I'm overthinking things. If not, I'll chop you up sooner or later!"

Qin Ying gritted his teeth.

The figures of the black-clothed men began to fade away.

Qin Ying snorted coldly. When he had risen to power in his previous life, he had survivved countless assassination attempts. He had found himself in situations more dangerous than this one countless times.

Qin Ying was very experienced in dealing with assassins who were good at hiding.

Just as the assassins were about to hide, Qin Ying pounced and charged at one of the assassins.

His halberd struck the assassin fiercely.

Ding!

The slender sword in the assassin's hand diverted the blow and his body disappeared.

The other three people hid the moment Qin Ying attacked.

"Petty tricks!"

Qin Ying snorted coldly.

Was concealing themselves like this a big deal?

Back then, when he had risen to power, he had faced countless assassinations. He was also good at concealing himself.

In fact, he was better at it than most assassins.

He had once used this to kill many assassins.

Qin Ying continued to charge forward. His halberd swept out in all directions. Even though he could not see the enemy, he continued to attack.

Boom!

Smoke and dust flew everywhere. The trees turned into dust and the ground below him cracked.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Qin Ying's figure also disappeared.

"He indeed has some tricks up his sleeve."

Chu Xuan was glued to the image projection. His eyes shone with golden light. Regardless of whether it was Qin Ying or the assassins, there was no hiding from his sight.

Heavenly Golden Divine Eyes!

Qin Ying was indeed famous for good reason. Within an extremely short period of time, he determined the advantageous position, concealed his figure, and restrained his aura.

He was even better at hiding himself than the four assassins.

Now, it was down to who was more patient.

Generally speaking, assassins were more patient, especially when they held the advantage.

However, Qin Ying was not an ordinary Emperor realm expert. He was a direct descendant of the Luo family. The longer they dragged things out, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

Once the experts of the Luo family arrived, the assassins would definitely die and the assassination would fail.

In terms of patience, Chu Xuan felt that Qin Ying was superior.

After all, he was an old monster with rich experience.

In his previous life, when he rose to power, he had likely experienced countless dangers like this.

As expected, the assassins could no longer hold themselves back. One of them deliberately revealed a flaw, trying to bait Qin Ying into making a move.

However, Qin Ying was an experienced person.

How could he be fooled by such tricks?

He held back and did not make a move.

In the end, all four assassins revealed themselves and looked at each other.

Could it be that Qin Ying was not hiding nearby, but had used a secret technique to escape?

It was very possible.

The assassination had failed.

Just as the assassins were about to leave, Qin Ying made his move.

He swung his large halberd at them.

This attack could be said to represent Qin Ying's current full strength.

Boom!

The assassin who was attacked did not even have the time to muster a defense before he was killed by the halberd.

After Qin Ying's first attack succeeded, his second attack swept toward the second assassin.

Boom!

He dealt a heavy blow to the other party. Not wanting to give the other party the chance to conceal himself, he pounced forward and launched another attack.

Boom!

Qin Ying counter-attacked aggressively, destroying the bodies of the two assassins. Only their soul managed to escape, and even then in a severely injured state.

The other two assassins escaped.

After his surprise attack succeeded, Qin Ying also quickly left.

The situation was unclear, and he did not want to risk falling into danger.

Chu Xuan sighed. As expected of a reincarnated old monster, his methods were brilliant and ruthless.

The two assassins seemed to have escaped with their souls, but in reality, Qin Ying had already used a secret technique to trace the aura of the other party's souls.

This was for the purpose of tracking them down.

He was planning to find out where these assassins were from.

Seeing how skilled Qin Ying was at using that technique, it was likely that he had used it many times in the past.

A character who had almost unified the Northern Zone and Southern Region was not simple indeed.

The assassination attempt on Qin Ying enraged the Luo family. The Central Region of the Eastern Zone was thrown into a state of turmoil, and it seemed as though the incident would end up affecting the entire Eastern Zone.

…

This was the first time Chu Xuan witnessed the strength of a human king's family.

Not only did the Luo family send out their experts, but all the major powers in the Central Region received a letter from the human king's family, and promptly sent out their experts as well.

Qin Ying relied on the aura tracing technique he had placed on the souls to lead the Luo clan's experts to the location of the assassin's hideout. They continued to investigate the location.

Zhu Yuanbai was incensed.

Continue reading on MYBOX N0 VEL. COM

He chased after the assassins everywhere; he was determined to find the mastermind behind all of this and take revenge for Qin Ying.

In the Central Region of the Eastern Zone, a storm was brewing and a great battle between Heaven realm experts broke out.

The might of the human king's family was once again revealed.

With their tyrannical and powerful strength, they killed a Heaven realm expert.

However, they were still unable to find the mastermind, and only eliminated that assassin organization.

They did not even know why Qin Ying had been targeted.

Chu Xuan finally understood why Qin Ying had chosen to reincarnate into the Luo family. Moreover, it was not as simple a matter as his soul being reborn. He directly underwent a rebirth and merged the Luo family's bloodline into his own.

He wanted to use the human king's family as a platform to develop and eventually return triumphantly to the Southern Region of the Northern Zone.

With the powerful strength and backing of the human king's family, Qin Ying might indeed be able to defeat his enemies and take revenge.

Seeing the strength of the human king's family, Chu Xuan's motivation was reignited. Even with his current strength as a sixth-level Supreme realm cultivator, he was still too weak.

Even if he reached the Heaven realm, it was nothing worth shouting about.

After all, above the Heaven realm, there was the legendary Divine realm.

The cultivation technique that Chu Xuan cultivated even surpassed the Divine realm, which meant that there was an even stronger realm above the Divine realm.

In the nine zones and fifty regions, the Desolate Ancient Zone was the one zone that was filled with mystery. It was likely that the Divine realm experts and above were all in the Desolate Ancient Zone.

Also, the Luo family was not the only human king family.

In addition, this was only considering the powerful forces the human race had. Other powerful races would also have their own super factions, such as the demon race.

After the assassination attempt, Qin Ying basically moved around within the Luo family's territory. The place he frequented the most was that same cliff.

The collapsed cliff had already been restored.

It was Zhu Yuanbai who had restored the cliff.

Qin Ying had been searching for a body tempering technique related to an overlord or tyrant. The body tempering technique that Zhu Yuanbai had found for him still lacked the domineering aura that he needed.

Without a strong physical body, he could not withstand the overlord technique of his previous life.

He had undergone rebirth, but he did not inherit the overlord body of his previous life, so he was unable to fully utilize the technique.

Chu Xuan did not appear either, as he was still unsure as to how to deal with Qin Ying.

The Great Qin Emperor was a famous figure who had once unified the Southern Region. However, that same person was now a valiant beauty.

After finding out that he was a man inside, Chu Xuan found the contrast between his beautiful face and male soul quite strange.

Chu Xuan had not decided yet. Should he try to trick him into becoming an in-name disciple, or just an errand boy?

Trying to trick him into becoming an errand boy seemed to be disrespectful of his previous achievements.

However, having such a strange in-name disciple under him would also feel quite weird.

Before he decided how to treat Qin Ying, Chu Xuan would not teach him the body tempering.

Chu Xuan was also waiting for Mo Tuo's conversion process to finish so that he could better understand Qin Ying's character. After all, Mo Tuo was an expert from the same generation as Qin Ying.

He was an expert from the demon race who had invaded the Southern Region, so he likely knew about the Great Qin Emperor to some extent.

A month later, Ding Yue and Wang Luo had been cultivating in the pocket dimension for over thirty years.

Their strength had increased greatly.

Their body tempering cultivation had also improved quite a bit.

Wang Luo had completed his training.

Su Xian'er's strength had also risen to the peak of the truth realm, and she was in the process of breaking through to the Emperor realm.

Chu Xuan did not plan to let them break through to the Emperor realm in the pocket dimension. After all, it was just a pocket dimension.

They could still break through small realms inside there, but it would be better for them to break through a major realm in the real world.

Chu Xuan began to construct a special domain in the universe space. He directly circumvented the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region and instead guided the laws of the Great Dao into the special domain.

He used his soul to guide the Great Dao, making the laws in the universe space special domain perfect.

They would then be able to directly communicate with the laws of the Great Dao in the universe space and break through to the Emperor realm.

Only Chu Xuan had the ability to circumvent the laws of Heaven and Earth and directly communicate with the laws of the Great Dao to break through.

Breaking through to the Emperor realm by comprehending the laws of the Great Dao was undoubtedly better. As their cultivation levels increased, it would be easier for them to comprehend the Great Dao.

The power of their domains would naturally be stronger too.

Su Xian'er still needed some time to break through, and was waiting for the right opportunity to appear.

Ding Yue was already at the ninth level of the truth realm.

Wang Luo had also stepped into the first level of the truth realm.

After all, they had already cultivated in the pocket dimension for more than thirty years, and both were top-notch heaven's blessed, so their cultivation speed would naturally be fast.

Had it not been for the fact that they were constantly consolidating their foundations and spending a lot of time on body tempering, their cultivation speed would have been even faster.

The benchmark for a top-notch genius was the hundred-year Emperor realm.

Of these hundred years, most of the time was spent stuck just before the Emperor realm. Cultivators were constantly accumulating the cultivation while looking for an opportunity to break through.

Usually, geniuses would be able to break through to the peak of the truth realm in twenty to thirty years. The rest of the time was spent preparing to break through to the Emperor realm.

The Southern Region was barren, and the laws of Heaven and Earth here were incomplete. Therefore, cultivation in this region was slower. In the past, reaching the hundred-year truth realm benchmark was considered a top-notch genius in the Southern Region.

Now, as the laws of Heaven and Earth gradually recovered, the cultivation speed of everyone here was also increasing.

Chu Xuan also noticed that, as the process of recovery of the laws of Heaven and Earth progressed, it was easier for cultivators to comprehend the laws and break through realms.

The information from the Black Moon Tower had already indicated that the strength of the cultivators of the Southern Region was increasing.

This was especially true for the younger generation; their aptitude was better, their cultivation speed was faster, and it was easier for them to break through realms.

Su Xian'er was accumulating her foundation and waiting for an opportunity to break through, so she was spared the responsibility of organizing the information for Chu Xuan and briefing him.

Moreover, Chu Xuan had placed most of his attention on Qin Ying, so he was not too interested in the happenings around the South Province.

Qin Ying was bitterly cultivating, so there was not much to see nowadays.

Chu Xuan was bored, so he picked up a document detailing some important pieces of information from the Black Moon Tower and started reading.

"The ancient ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain are about to open!"

"Bai Sheng Mountain is an ancient power. There was a Heaven realm expert presiding over it, but he was killed in the war and the sect was trapped in a spatial crack."

The information was about an ancient ruin that had recently appeared in the Southern Region.

The ancient ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain.

The once powerful sect was trapped in a spatial crack after the war with the demons, and its inheritance was lost.

Now, as the laws of Heaven and Earth slowly recovered, the ancient ruins of the Bai Sheng Mountain sect had made its appearance!

Chu Xuan's interest was piqued when he saw this information.

The appearance of the ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain meant that a fortuitous encounter had appeared.

A large sect that once had a Heaven realm expert was trapped in a spatial crack. There should be an inheritance left behind in its ruins, right?

How could the various powers in the Southern Region not be tempted?

Chu Xuan continued to read the document.

The sects and empires of the Southern Region had already sent experts to the ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain. They were waiting for the ruins to fully open before entering to compete for the inheritance and treasures.

Seeing as it was an ancient ruin of a powerful sect, there had to be emperor-level artifacts inside.

Perhaps there might even be Divine artifacts inside!

The Great Qin Dynasty's foundation was still a bit lacking. However, by cooperating with Nine Swords Mountain, coupled with the fact that the Qin, Zhao, and He families had digested the foundation left behind by their ancestors, they were able to send quite a few truth realm experts.

The strongest among them had already reached the seventh level of the truth realm.

Since the ancient ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain had appeared, the Great Qin Dynasty had naturally participated. Moreover, they were cooperating with Nine Swords Mountain.

…

The Great Empress Qin Keyun even personally went to the border to take charge so that she could personally receive the treasures.

With the current situation in the Southern Region, Qin Keyun was already the strongest person below the Emperor realm.

The evil imperial court and the Great Qian Dynasty were naturally unwilling to be left behind.

Dozens of sects and forces, big and small, gathered around the ruins of Bai Sheng Mountain.

Continue_reading on MYBOX N0V EL. COM

They were all waiting for the ruin to open.

Several battles had already taken place.

Several unity realm experts had fallen.

Naturally, people from the Black Moon Tower were also present.

How could they be absent from such a big event?

Chu Xuan decided to intervene. After all, participating in the exploration of the ruin might trigger a system reward inadvertently.

He could not leave the small courtyard, but he had disciples.

Ding Yue was a ninth-level truth realm cultivator. Even a half-step emperor realm expert might not be his match.

The power of the Heaven-reaching Sword technique was sufficient to kill those stronger than him.

Moreover, Ding Yue's Sword Dao talent was top-notch. His affinity with the Heaven-reaching Sword technique was perfect, which made it even more powerful.

Wang Luo was only at the first level of the truth realm, so he would not join in the fun for now.

Moreover, he was busy refining pills and tempering his body.

There was another most important reason behind this decision. Ding Yue was the son of fate of the Southern Region. In that sense, the treasures in the ancient ruins here were tailor-made for him.

It was also a stage for Ding Yue to become famous.

It was time for Ding Yue, the son of fate of the Southern Region, to show off.

The treasures in the ancient ruins might be very ordinary to Chu Xuan, and he would not care about them at all.

Ding Yue, who had his horizons broadened, probably would not care too much about them either.

However, they were still treasures. Even if they were given to the Chu family, it was better than giving them to someone else.

Chu Xuan summoned Ding Yue.

"Master!"

Ding Yue bowed respectfully.

Chu Xuan handed him the information and said, "Take a look."

Ding Yue took a look at the information, and his eyes flashed with a bright gleam. He became excited.

He had been betrayed by his childhood sweetheart and suffered humiliation from his fellow Nine Swords Mountain sect disciples. In the end, he was directly expelled and disappeared from sight in a sorry state.

He had been holding back his anger the whole time.

He had worked hard to cultivate and become stronger. He wanted nothing more than to show up in front of them and slap their faces!

He wanted to make those who looked down on him in the past feel regret!

How long had it been since he was expelled?

He was now at the ninth level of the truth realm. His comprehension of Sword Dao was so high that it was not an exaggeration to say that no one from Nine Swords Mountain could defeat him.

The sole exception to this was if there was an Emperor realm expert.

Nine Swords Mountain was famous for its Sword Dao, and it was the number one sword sect in the Southern Region. As an expelled disciple of Nine Swords Mountain, he would use his Sword Dao to defeat Nine Swords Mountain and shove their faces into the ground.

Just thinking about it made him excited.

He had been waiting for this opportunity and, now, the time had finally come.

The Bai Sheng Mountain ancient ruin had appeared, and all of the major forces of the Southern Region were participating in its exploration. All of the famous experts of the Southern Region would make their appearance here.

He, Ding Yue, wanted to subdue Nine Swords Mountain in front of all of the major forces of the Southern Region.

Ding Yue believed that he had almost figured out the second stage of the way of the sword.

It was time to test his Sword Dao.

"Master, I want to go to the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin!" Ding Yue said respectfully.

"Go then. With your strength, there aren't many who can rival you in the Southern Region." Chu Xuan nodded.

After a brief pause, he said, "Sword cultivators are unyielding. You were once expelled. It's time for you to make a name for yourself and take back your dignity."

"The major forces of the Southern Region will definitely restrict some people from participating in the exploration of the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin. As an itinerant cultivator, you will definitely be obstructed."

"However, all obstructions are meaningless in the face of absolute strength. I won't make any arrangements for you. You will find a way to enter the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin by yourself."

What Chu Xuan wanted was for Ding Yue to show off at the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin and slap everyone's faces.

If his disciple made a name for himself and did well, would he trigger the system's reward?

The probability of this was very high.

"Yes, Master!"

Ding Yue was extremely excited.

Chu Xuan reminded him again, "The treasures inside the ruin might be ordinary, but you shouldn't let others have them. If you encounter them, you can fight for them. It's up to you."

"Don't worry, Master. As long as I want it, no one can take it away," Ding Yue said seriously.

"Go."

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes, Master!"

Before Ding Yue left, he ran into the pocket dimension and asked Wang Luo for some pills.

After all, he had to face a lot of battles, and might even be ganged up upon.

Naturally, he had to prepare some healing pills, spiritual power recovery pills, and other kinds of pills.

There were countless treasures inside the pocket dimension. Wang Luo's alchemy skills were excellent, and he could already refine emperor-level pills with his truth realm cultivation.

After taking the pills, he stored the divine sword into his body and left the Chu family's territory with a high-grade treasured sword, heading to the Bai Sheng Mountain ruin.

Ding Yue had already successfully refined the divine sword given by Chu Xuan, but it was not easy to use it.

The divine sword was still a divine sword after all, and it had the ability to protect its master on its own volition. At critical moments, he could also rely on the divine sword to display its powerful strength.

This was his trump card.

The high-grade treasured sword was something that Ding Yue had been using for practice this entire time. After he nurtured it, it seemed to be on the verge of transforming into an emperor-level weapon.

After cultivating the Firmament Sword body, the sword intent in Ding Yue's body grew on its own. It was still a good distance from transforming and surging with vast sword intent, but it was sufficient to nurture the divine sword.

It was enough to transform a high-grade artifact into an emperor-level artifact. The only difference was that the time needed to nurture it.

Bai Sheng Mountain was located in the north of the Southern Region, at the center of a stretch of a barren mountain range.

This was where Bai Sheng Mountain's sect had once been located. During the great battle, Bai Sheng Mountain's sect had been trapped in a spatial crack.

The surrounding mountains had been worn down by the great battle. Thanks to that, they were barren and lifeless, devoid of any flora and fauna.

As time passed, traces of the great battle faded away, and vegetation had started to grow here in the past hundred years.

Even so, the vegetation was sparse, and the spiritual energy here was chaotic. There was no village or town within a ten thousand li radius of this place.

No demon beasts were willing to stay in such a place either.

The surrounding mountains were only filled with ordinary wild beasts.

A month ago, the illusory image of a ruin had suddenly appeared in the barren mountain range, immediately attracting the attention of cultivators.

According to records, this place had once been the headquarters of the Bai Sheng Mountain sect, and the appearance of a powerful sect's ruin naturally took the Southern Region by storm.

Countless factions had arrived, each wanting to obtain a great opportunity.

The few mountains closest to the ruin had already been occupied by the various factions.

Nine Swords Mountain and the Great Qin Empire each occupied a mountain.

The evil imperial court, Heavenly Cauldron Mountain, and the Great Qian Dynasty each occupied a mountain as well.

There were also other mountain peaks occupied by other major forces.

The weakest had experts at the third level of the truth realm and above.

Currently, of the major forces of the Southern Region, only the Floating Flower Pavilion had yet to arrive.

The Floating Flower Pavilion was also the only all-female sect in the Southern Region. Its members were extremely powerful and the cultivation techniques they cultivated were extremely profound.

No faction dared to ignore the existence of the Floating Flower Pavilion.

Hence, even though no one from the Floating Flower Pavilion had arrived, all of the major factions tacitly left behind a mountain peak for them to occupy.

No one dared to occupy that mountain peak.

Whoever occupied it would be expelled and even killed as an example.

The women from that sect were beautiful, but also ruthless.

In fact, other than the three empires and three sects, the other powers were worried that their own mountain peak would be taken over by the Floating Flower Pavilion.

If the Floating Flower Pavilion took a fancy to their mountain peak, they would give it up immediately.

The mountains were not far from each other, and it was not a huge mountain range. It was just that some of the peaks were closer to Bai Sheng Mountain.

As for the quota to enter Bai Sheng Mountain, that had not been released yet. Once the Floating Flower Pavilion's experts arrived, the various factions would start discussing this matter.

…

The Great Qin Dynasty's mountain was adjacent to Nine Swords Mountain and the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain. It did not directly face the evil imperial court or the Great Qian Dynasty.

The leader of the Great Qian Empire was not the king of the Great Qian Dynasty, but rather a refined middle-aged man.

He was the Prime Minister of the Great Qian Dynasty, Liu Pingfeng, one of their three great half-step emperor experts.

Liu Pingfeng looked at the Great Qin Dynasty's mountain peak mockingly and said with a smile, "One of the three empires and three sects doesn't live up to its name. They don't even have a ninth-level truth realm cultivator."

Continue_reading on MYBOX N0V EL. COM

Many people looked toward the Great Qin Dynasty's mountain peak when they heard that.

There were not many people from the Great Qin Dynasty present. After all, there were too few truth realm experts among their ranks. The only one who could show off was Qin Changfang, who was at the seventh level of the truth realm.

Everyone present knew that the Great Qin Dynasty's experts were primarily relying on Nine Swords Mountain to back them up.

On the top of the Great Qin Dynasty's mountain peak, Qin Changfang's expression was unsightly, but he did not exhibit any weakness. He sneered and said, "So what if you have three half-step emperor cultivators? Weren't all of you still defeated by the Great Qin Empress?"

Liu Pingfeng's expression darkened as he looked at the Evil King of the evil imperial court and said with a smile, "Evil King, in the past, there were only two empires and three sects in the Southern Region. Now that there's one more empire, do you think we should do something?"

This was a direct indication that they wanted to join forces with the evil imperial court to target the Great Qin Dynasty.

Qin Changfang's expression turned ashen.

Everyone looked at the Evil King.

The evil imperial court had been acting a little strange recently. The Evil King, including the old evil king, had actually reorganized the evil imperial court and used the law to safeguard the welfare of the lower echelons.

It was shocking.

It was unbelievable that a wicked cultivation country had stricter laws than the great Qian Empire.

Everyone believed that the Evil King and the old evil king had encountered problems with their brains because of their evil cultivation techniques.

Heretic cultivators were weird and eccentric, so it was not surprising that they had done such a ridiculous thing.

The Evil King raised his head arrogantly and looked down on Liu Pingfeng.

"Our evil imperial court has always been righteous. We will never bully the weak with numbers!"

Go to hell!

Everyone present cursed inwardly.

Heretic cultivators were talking about justice and righteousness…

What kind of joke was this?

Were not all those evil techniques that absorbed the blood essence of cultivators created by the Evil King's lineage?

The few evil commanders and evil generals behind the Evil King all remained silent. They had all gotten used to the Evil King's style.

They all believed that there was something wrong with the Evil King's and the old evil king's brains, and that they had deviated from the nature of heretic cultivators.

The little evil king was still normal, though.

Although he did not cultivate the evil techniques of the evil imperial court, his nature was truly evil. In terms of perversion and ruthlessness, there were not many people in the entire evil imperial court who could compare to him.

When the Evil King abdicated and the little evil king ascended to the throne, the evil imperial court would return to normal. They would just have to endure it for a while.

There was a limit to how long an Evil King could reign and they would normally not continue their term. No one knew where the evil kings would go after they abdicated.

It was very likely that they would leave the Southern Region and head to other regions to break through to the Emperor realm.

As for how one could leave the Southern Region, the only method was to rely on the Black Moon Pavilion but it would require a huge amount of resources.

Not many people had the ability to leave the Southern Region.

Qin Changfang let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that the Evil King's brain was damaged, as he would not ally himself with the Great Qian Dynasty.

The person presiding over Nine Swords Mountain here was not their sect master, Song Yiming, but an elder. He sat cross-legged on a large rock on the mountain peak and had a sword by his knee.

He was a half-step emperor cultivator.

First Elder Hong Fei sat atop the mountain peak of the Great Qin Dynasty.

There was a young man standing proudly on Nine Swords Mountain's peak. His handsome face attracted the attention of many young women.

"It's Ying Jiankong, the number one genius of Nine Swords Mountain."

"He's reached the ninth level of the truth realm. He's only about 50 years old, right?"

"It's said that he's the successor for the position of sect master of Nine Swords Mountain."

"You're wrong. Ying Jiankong has no intention of inheriting the position of sect master. He's focused on his Sword Dao and wants to be the strongest in Nine Swords Mountain."

Many people looked at the proud figure and discussed him animatedly.

Among the Nine Swords Mountain squad, there was a beautiful figure who never left Ying Jiankong's side.

The leader of the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain's exploration team was also a half-step emperor realm cultivator.

He looked very old, and his beard was red like a ball of fire.

Behind him, a beautiful figure was also staring at Ying Jiankong.

"Grandfather, the treasure of the Bai Sheng Mountain will definitely fall into brother Jiankong's hands," the woman said with an expression of infatuation.

"Perhaps. After the matter of this ancient ruin is over, I will choose a day to marry you and Jiankong," the red-bearded elder said.

"Yes, I'll leave this matter in grandfather's hands."

The woman said with a blushing face.

"I heard that he is very close to a junior sister of Nine Swords Mountain…"

The red-bearded elder frowned slightly.

"Grandfather, I know about her. Brother Jiankong didn't hide anything from me. Even if he marries her, at most, she would only be a concubine. Brother Jiankong is so powerful. It's normal for him to have many wives. It's not a big deal for him to marry a concubine. She can serve me."

The woman said indifferently.

The red-bearded elder did not speak further.

Boom!

The space around the mountain range shook.

Everyone looked over. A dilapidated structure was gradually appearing.

At this moment, the ruin looked like a mirage.

It would not be long before the ruin was completely opened.

"Why aren't the women from the Floating Flower Pavilion here yet?"

The Evil King was the first to display his impatience.

The others did not speak.

It was not wise to provide the Floating Flower Pavilion. After all, those women were petty and easily bore grudges.

Only the Evil King could behave so fearlessly.

He even cursed, "The women from the Floating Flower Pavilion are lacking in manners. If they don't come soon, then they shouldn't blame me if I catch a few of their girls to have some fun with some other day!"

The others continued to turn a blind eye to the matter and allowed the Evil King curse all by himself. After all, the relationship between the evil imperial court and the Floating Flower Pavilion was very poor.

The Evil King was not afraid of offending others either.

Others did not have any grudges with the Floating Flower Pavilion, so if they could avoid offending them, they would do their best not to. Those petty women were really not to be trifled with.

Suddenly, everyone looked in the direction of the mountain that had been left for the Floating Flower Pavilion.

They saw a figure holding a sword in his arms, climbing up the mountain step by step.

He seemed to only be a first-level profound realm cultivator.

In the eyes of many experts, he was an ant-like existence.

However, such a weakling actually climbed up the mountain belonging to the Floating Flower Pavilion, wanting to monopolize a mountain by himself?

What gave him the courage to do so?

Chapter 110: Woman, Stay Away From Me!

Ding Yue became the center of attention the moment he appeared.

He held his sword in his arms as he stood on the top of the uninhabited mountain peak. He turned a blind eye to the surrounding gazes.

He had hidden his cultivation and kept it at the first level of the profound realm, which made him appear to be very weak. It was as if anyone could crush him to death.

On the top of Nine Swords Mountain's peak, Ying Jiankong briefly glanced at Ding Yue. He frowned slightly and immediately stopped paying attention to him.

In his eyes, Ding Yue was just a piece of trash who had been expelled from Nine Swords Mountain.

A beautiful figure beside him also looked at Ding Yue and frowned. Her eyes were filled with disgust.

Ding Yue noticed Ying Jiankong and his childhood sweetheart looking at him.

However, at this moment, he felt nothing.

He had already broken through the first stage of the way of the sword. He had forgotten about his sweetheart!

As for the second stage, he believed that he should have reached it as well. He would not treat beautiful women any differently from ordinary people, and would not be swayed by their beauty.

Ding Yue was a weakling, at least on the surface.

There was no lack of busybodies in this world. Ding Yue had occupied the mountain peak reserved for the Floating Flower Pavilion, so someone immediately took it upon themselves to teach Ding Yue a lesson and curry favor with the Floating Flower Pavilion.

A figure flew toward Ding Yue from a mountain not far away.

"Kid, this is no place for someone like you. This is the territory reserved for the fairies of the Floating Flower Pavilion. An ant like you will dirty the eyes of the fairies. Come over and wait for the fairies of the Floating Flower Pavilion to punish you."

This person was a middle-aged third-level truth realm cultivator.

The third level of the truth realm was considered the weakest among those present from the surrounding big forces.

He raised his hand and tried to grab Ding Yue.

He wanted to crush all of the bones in Ding Yue's body but, at the same time, also wanted to keep him alive.

Everyone looked on coldly. No one stopped him.

A weak person coming here was akin to courting death.

Everyone thought that Ding Yue would end up in a miserable state but, in an instant, a cold gleam flashed by. The middle-aged man who attacked did not even have the chance to scream.

His body was split in half in mid-air and he died on the spot.

Ding Yue still held his sword in his arms and maintained the same posture as before. It looked like he had not even moved an inch.

Everyone's expressions turned cold.

This included the half-step Emperor realm experts present.

The sword gleam had been too fast. They had not been paying much attention to the situation just now, so even the half-step Emperor realm experts had failed to see where the sword gleam had come from.

Everyone naturally looked toward Nine Swords Mountain.

Floating Flower Pavilion's mountain was next to Nine Swords Mountain's peak.

Had an expert from Nine Swords Mountain made a move?

Was it the elder or Ying Jiankong?

"What a fast sword!"

The elder from Nine Swords mountain looked at Ding Yue with a cold gaze.

Ying Jiankong's pupils shrank and he looked shocked. Ding Yue was the one who attacked?

How was this possible?

The gorgeous woman next to him also looked at Ding Yue in disbelief.

She could not believe that the trash who had been expelled by Nine Swords Mountain actually possessed such strength.

Was he not only at the first level of the profound realm?

Seeing Nine Swords Mountain's reaction, everyone realized that the sword strike just now had not come from Nine Swords Mountain.

Instead, It was that young man who had struck.

How was that possible?

How old was he!

He was much younger than Ying Jiankong. At such a young age, he actually possessed such powerful strength?

He was also a Sword Dao cultivator. Given his age and strength, he should be even more terrifying than Ying Jiankong, right?

Who was he?

"Interesting. It seems like he obtained an opportunity and became a little stronger."

Ying Jiankong chuckled, "Trash will always be trash. Even if he relied on a fortuitous encounter to become stronger, this tiny bit of strength is his limit."

Everyone looked at Ying Jiankong.

He knew that young man?

Ding Yue sneered, "A piece of trash who only reached the ninth level of the truth realm at the age of 50 is trying to trash-talk me?"

The aura around his body surged, and the full extent of his ninth-level truth realm cultivation was revealed.

How old was Ding Yue?

Someone so young was already at the ninth level of the truth realm.

Moreover, his aura was so strong it made many of the veteran ninth-level truth realm experts present feel that they were inferior.

He was such a young ninth-level truth realm expert. Even if he had relied on a fortuitous encounter to advance his cultivation, his strength was still the real thing.

Although Ding Yue had cultivated inside the pocket dimension for more than thirty years, due to the pocket dimension's unique ability, there was a time difference between the time inside and outside. Therefore, Ding Yue's age was still calculated based on his age in the real world.

Ying Jiankong's expression darkened, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

Ding Yue coldly looked at everyone present and sneered, "Do you think that I, Ding Yue, have obtained a great opportunity? Do you all want to snatch it from me?"

"Heh, are you all worthy?"

"The opportunity that I received is the opportunity to meet my master. In the eyes of my master, all of you are nothing but trash. Pieces of trash who are unworthy of my master!"

His words were arrogant, overbearing, and made everyone's expressions turn ugly.

However, no one tried to make a move. They were all thinking about and trying to figure out the identity of Ding Yue's master?

The fact that his master had been able to cultivate a ninth-level truth realm expert in such a short time was evidence of how powerful he was.

Emperor realm?

Did the Southern Region even have an Emperor realm cultivator?

Was his master an outsider?

Those major forces that knew some of the Southern Region's secrets frowned. At the moment, Emperor realm experts from other regions were not allowed to enter the Southern Region.

That person from the Black Moon Tower was special, and the Black Moon Tower was very powerful, which was why they made an exception to allow that person to enter the Southern Region.

At this moment, flower petals began to fall from the sky. Colorful flower petals fell from the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Everyone's spirits were roused. The people from the Floating Flower Pavilion had arrived.

As Ding Yue had occupied the Floating Flower Pavilion's mountain peak, many people perked up. There was probably going to be a good show to watch.

In the distance, a graceful figure walked on the air. As she walked over, step by step, beautiful petals followed her and scattered everywhere.

These petals were the manifestation of a type of spiritual power, and were not real petals.

They were created by the Floating Flower Pavilion's cultivation technique, and also happened to be the usual way they announced their arrival.

The person who came was graceful and incomparably beautiful.

"It's the Floating Flower Pavilion's Holy Maiden, Han Yingmeng!"

Many people cried out in surprise.

Some of the younger martial artists revealed looks of admiration and adoration.

Even Ying Jiankong's eyes lit up when he saw Han Yingmeng.

Only Ding Yue's eyes remained unwavering!

No matter how beautiful a woman was, she would not be able to distract him.

The second stage of the way of the sword dictated that one could not be distracted by a beautiful woman!

Ding Yue remembered it well, so no matter how many cries of admiration and adoration were heard from the surroundings, he did not even glance at Han Yingmeng.

Han Yingmeng walked over with a charming smile. As she listened to the cries of adulation and adoration coming from the surroundings, the smile on her face grew wider.

Step by step, she walked toward the mountain where Ding Yue was at.

That was the mountain assigned to the Floating Flower Pavilion.

Although there was already one person there, and his strength was not weak, she only thought that he was someone who was trying to curry favor with the Floating Flower Pavilion and help them occupy the mountain. Perhaps he was one of her admirers.

Ding Yue frowned.

Looking at Han Yingmeng who was walking over step by step, his heart felt gloomy.

"What is she trying to do? Is she deliberately trying to attract my attention?"

"She is smiling so brightly. Is she coming here to confuse me?"

"This woman is detestable. She must be trying to disturb my Dao heart and make me fall in love with her and halt my progress and insight into the way of the sword."

"I, Ding Yue, want to reach a realm where I have no woman in my heart,where I can draw my sword and kill gods. How can I be disturbed by a mere woman?"

Han Yingmeng had just placed one foot on the mountain peak when Ding Yue looked at her coldly and said, "Get lost, woman. Stay away from me!"
